I have received most of the parts now and cut the plywood. Did you use the nut insert and machine screws to fasten the ball bearings and normal wood screws for the rest?

Yes. The parts that you have to release now and then. Like the bearings.
Dry fitting the rest of the parts.

That's the difficult part. Make sure everything is lined up correct. This will give you advantage in the future.
Yes. I need a break now before the final assembly. I am not super happy with the height difference between left and right side. If I start raising one side then it will no longer be parallel with the top plate (F). I will see where I stand after creating the drum.
Happy with the beech drum. If feels very smooth.
All done. It works great. Big thank you to Stephan for posting his design with instructions.
I will be looking into adding a motor instead of using the drill.

The way the slide is designed, makes it a perfect if the machine is made of wood. It is a more steady then using a hinge and a screw to raise. It works, you turn the screw every time a little bit and a tiny layer of wood is take away. Thanks for sharing your build here.
